Hello everyone  This month has been amazing for a couple of reasons, we have successfully
re-homed 24 dogs; out of these lucky beauties were Willow, Zeb, Rex and Tilly. Each of these special four have been
amongst the longest here and have their own short story to tell; we say short
because most come with no previous history and those that do, usually have a
sad tale to tell. For some in particular it’s heartbreaking because their
previous owners don’t want to part with them but have no choice.Zeb is such a happy lovable
chappie and revels in the company of people; hence each time he was put back
into his kennel he would call out almost constantly, he calls out no more:
there is no need.  Rex seems as though he has been here forever, he was only months
old when he first arrived, excitable and very lively and when his family finally
came along, you would have thought they
had known each other from day one, every dog re-homed is special but there are
some even more special . 
Then there was Willow,
another soul who found being in kennels unbearable, she too cried out
constantly. The amazing thing with Willow was when she first met her new family,
straight away she was overjoyed and excitable, then a member of the same family
approached her in a wheel chair, she went to him and gently laid her head on
his lap! How wonderful is that, so much so she is going to be trained as an
assistant dog to this gentleman.
Times like this are totally humbling and hopefully people will look
on rescue dogs with more sincerity and realise they do have so much to offer, sometimes even more so if they have
never known love and affection before.  Tilly was a girl
who came to us absolutely petrified, tied to a post and just left there for
anyone to take, such a terrifying thought, fortunately she was bought to us and
with time and patience she started to trust again, she too is now in a loving
family who will cherish her and finally give her the life she and many other
truly deserve. Thank you to all who
open their hearts to any animal in distress and for making that very important
difference to their lives. Moving on to FDR’s half yearly magazine ‘The Howler’ went
down really well and very welcome comments were voiced too, it was a great read
and everyone who contributed towards it deserves a good pat on the back,
including Veldonn Printers for all their kindness shown towards FDR, well done
everyone and thank you. All events during a sweltering July have proved very
successful with plenty of fun along the way too, a big thank you to all who
continue to support us to help those who can’t help themselves J A project we had in mind became reality when John Miller from Base Group Ltd kindly
donated a Portacabin completely free, to extend our tiny office! Tony
Smith from BlabyElectricals Ltd,Mark Garlick from Syntec Systemsand David Field from JDF Associates Ltd all generously contributed along the
way too. We were completely speechless
and that truly is saying something! Pictures to come later when we have all in
place, (exciting isn’t it!). We do consider FRD to be such a lucky Charity to
have so much support out there and in payment, we will endeavour to continue
our work to the very best of our ability and beyond, thank you all so much
That’s
it for now folk’s , as usual if I’ve forgotten anything I promise to update you
in the next Newsletter (which is more likely than not lol) - til then keep well and stay safe, bye for now
